Gratitude Objects (2020)
For the month of November, I decided to capture the everyday objects around me as a practice in gratitude and mindfulness. These illustrations gave me the opportunity to observe the little subtle details and color shifts of the everyday objects around me. I was pleasantly surprised with how the illustrations turned out and how they constantly reminded me of the beauty in the everyday.

AIGA JAX Design + Music Poster Show (2020)
Design Posters Submissions (three static and one digital) for the AIGA JAX Design + Music Poster Show starting October 16-23, 2020. These (and other submissions) will be printed for the event.
My designs were inspired by the lyrics of one of their performing artists Folk is People (@folkispeople). I really enjoyed their sound. This is a line from their song White Daisy. Check them out! If you’re in/around JAX (Jacksonville, Florida) and see a poster (or you are interested in any of the posters) send me a message.

Inktober Illustrations (2020)
Inspired by the three different Inktober drawing prompts from They Draw & Travel, They Draw & Cook, and They Draw & Garden, I decided to challenge myself by combining all three items from the individual lists into one illustration. In addition to composing an image with all three elements, I decided to tackle this project by composing and coloring the illustrations digitally. This process is new to me, so I will be learning and improving as we progress through the October prompts. Illustrations mash-up products are available at my Society6 shop.

50/50 Show: Gifts In Kindess (2019)
Inspired by PETA’s 2018 list of animal-friendly expressions, the body of work displayed here are playful alternatives of familiar sayings that have been reworked with “kindness to all” in mind.
I have also included a set of “kindness to self” pieces that reminds us that our thoughts and choices have the power to influence how we perceive our own situations and the world around us. You have the courage to ‘swim storms’ and ‘fly above’ to ‘grow goodness’ all around you.
This body of work was originally part of the Sanchez Art Center's 2019 50/50 show. A portion of the proceeds from the sales benefitted the art center's mission to to create community through art. Click here for more information about Sanchez Art Center.

50/50 Show: Hope in the Ordinary (2018)
The body of work displayed here is an exploration of ordinary and found objects elevated through their playful interaction and juxtaposition. The alchemy of each ‘experience’ is unique to each viewer because of the journey that led you to this moment. Our own lives are filled with unruly twists and turns, triumphs, challenges, unconventional pairings, undeniable mysteries, and moments that force us into stillness. The unpredictable landscapes in our own timeline reinforces our human desire to connect with the world around us as we find our own sense of purpose.
